Hello folks,
Next week my weather drops to 15* way below freezing and I want to make sure my 2 week and 1 week old kits will survive.
I made 3 new nest boxes on Saturday as photo below:![20240108_043045.jpg 20240108_043045.jpg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/rabbittalk/data/attachments/36/36139-c2ef9302c9373e17a51d770d1c63452b.jpg)
But my when it hits freezing Temps my kits will be almost 4 weeks wanting to venture out, im thinking of making these type of kit hide boxes so they can burro in the hay and ao instead of falling out of nest box and freezing they have this where they can go out and back in. Box on left of photo where mom can't go in.

Also another question, will the kits be fine amd crawl to mother when they want milk when they are in that hide box?
